In the sixth round of the Premier League, there is a key match, Notts County hosts the ruble army Chelsea.

It's a direct battle between top and third place in the league table, and a litmus test for Notts County's dark horses.

Of course, no one at Chelsea will think they are dark horses sitting in this position, because last season, they were already able to finish in the top three, and after a summer of crazy money burning, it would be strange if the results did not improve!

The other games are strong and weak, and it is difficult to get too much attention, so naturally this game has become the focus of this round.

Chelsea brought in two players from Notts County at a sky-high price, Di Natale and Merreles, after Abou took over, and this game was also the first time the two players faced their old clubs.

According to reliable sources, before Abou bought Chelsea, he had also expressed interest in Notts County, but was directly rejected by Notts County Chairman Pavis, is this also the beginning of a grudge?

If Notts County win, the promoted side will remain at the top of the table and Chelsea will be broken, while Chelsea will continue to keep pace with Arsenal and Notts County will plummet.

The pre-match smoke was filled with gunsmoke, and the image of a fierce confrontation between the two clubs was also created.

Chelsea's current manager Claudio Ranieri is not a particularly strong manager, and his coaching career is more famous for fighting fires, leading the team through the whole season without a particularly good title, especially the top league title, not one, and it is no wonder that Abobou dislikes him for not having a championship temperament.

In fact, when he created a miracle at Leicester City in his previous life, Ranieri was the real top coach, and now, without enough honor, he may not be able to control the proud soldiers of Chelsea.

In fact, if David is not mistaken, Ranieri has not done a good job at Chelsea this season, finishing second in the league and reaching the semi-finals in the Champions League in a record.

Although it is fair to say that he did a good job, but for Abu, I invested so much money, and you handed me such a report card?

Then Ranieri was fired, and I have to say that Abu's first year at Chelsea was still very eager for quick success, and only when he knew that professional football was not simply rich and could be played, would he slowly settle down and accumulate steadily.

Before the game, Chelsea's powerful Abou had clearly told Ranieri that this game with Notts County must be won, and he wanted David to see that the team he bought would be successful, and that Notts County's refusal to accept his stake was David's biggest fool, and he wanted to personally drag Notts County from the leader's position, and he wanted to make Notts County regret it.

Ranieri is one and two big for Abu's instructions, although he knows that Abu's interference with the team will reach an outrageous level, but this kind of nirvana order is a bit nonsense.

Don't look at Notts County as a promoted horse, but they are the champions of the League Cup and the top of the Premier League standings, can such a magical team really look at them with the eyes of ordinary promoted horses?

Claudio Ranieri knows very well what level Chelsea are at right now, if it is a weak team, with a cadre of stars in the team, it can be done like a melon and vegetables, and once it meets a team with very high tactical literacy, then Chelsea's weaknesses will be exposed.

If he is given enough time, he will put the Chelsea stars together and develop the right tactics, and if he can avoid the big teams up front, Chelsea's summit this season may not be a dream.

But now that he was unlucky enough to run into Notts County so early, he had nothing to say.

Abu's words can't be ignored, if he doesn't listen, he may be unemployed in the next second, he knows that he is definitely not the champion coach in Abu's heart.

So Ranieri is really stuck in a situation where he is in a situation of two years in and out.

He would love to play a more conservative approach in this game, and at home in Notts County, he is dead to the point of attacking against Notts County

But the problem is that Abu doesn't accept the team's conservative tactics, he spends so much money, and in the end you tell him that the team still can't play against the strong teams, especially the team that has a thorn in his heart, it's no wonder he doesn't just fire you!

It's been a good day, it's really boring, and the control of the team is not as good as one day, if Abu doesn't buy so many stars, it's better to say a little bit about watching the dishes by himself, now there are so many stars, who plays and who doesn't?

The back line and the wing positions are better, the competition is not particularly fierce, but in the forward position and in the middle of the midfield, it is almost a fight.

Hasselbaink, Crespo, Di Natale, Gudjohnsen, Mutu, these five first-class and even top strikers need to compete for two starting positions, and the others can only wait for their opportunity on the bench, how cruel!

In the middle of the midfield, Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele, Meireles, Petit, Veron, Geremi, these players also need to compete for two positions, which is more fierce and cruel.

Chelsea's first-team squad is so bloated that it can play in the Premier League even as a club.

The depth of the bench is enough, but the problem for Chelsea now is not the depth of the bench, but the need for the team to form an overall fighting force as soon as possible.

Ranieri feels like he has entered the most difficult period of his coaching career.

He didn't want to say anything in front of the media before the game, as a veteran driver who has coached in many clubs, he knows a truth very well, sometimes the more he talks, the greater the chance of being slapped in the face in the end.

But often things don't help themselves, and journalists in England are the hardest to deal with, and even if you don't want to, they'll try to get you to open your mouth and then turn around and lead you into the ditch.

When asked by reporters for his thoughts on the game, Ranieri could not speak.

Then the reporter opened his eyes and started talking nonsense: Notts County said the game was going to beat Chelsea to the head at home.

Ranieri could not speak.

But when reporters continued to fabricate that Loew was interested in the Chelsea position, and Abu and Loew had entered the substantive negotiation stage, Ranieri blew up! (To be continued.) )
